An acquaintance from work told me once about a case where a jury refused to convict a person who was charged with tax evasion. The argument put forward by the defense was that there was no explicit law requiring people to pay taxes - and the jury agreed.
This would appear to be a bona fide example of jury nullification. However, it is almost assuredly the exception rather than the rule, in that most jurors will follow the instructions of the judge - regardless of whether or not those instructions pass constitutional muster.
